These stunning gold over sterling earrings are hand-made for us in Istanbul. Some of the finest metalsmiths in the world work deep in the hidden recesses of the Grand Bazaar. A moonstone cabochon is bezel set in the center of the earring. A simple hoop measuring 1 1/4 inch surrounds the stone. The stone hangs from a lightly patterned rod that adds textural interest and complexity to the earring. The earring is a post style earring and hangs down 1 3/4 inches.
